WASTE VALVE.

Application filed November 28, 1924. Serial No.` 752,505.

lhisinvention `'-clates to a valve which is ball Dl where it is seated in a packing D3 primarily adapted Aloruse as a 'waste valve which is braced and held in place'by means pn connection with bathsand batn tubs. lt oi a member D4.. The chain, ot' course, might nas for one ob]ect to provide in a valve anv be fastened' to the member D1 in avarietvofr 60 5 overiiowconncction means whereby the overways.

J@cw kconnection will not become clogged. As shown in Figure 4 the valve is mounted Another object .is to provide means whereby in a bath tub E, which has ya normal drain the discharge from the normal outlet will opening El and the overiow openings F2. not back up into the overflow connection Connected to the drain opening El is a dis-V e5 and thustend to deposit i'oreign matter withcharge outlet F which communicates with 1n 1t and to clog it. Other objects will apthe opening B1 in the valve. Extending uppearhtrom time to time throughout the speciwardly from the valve housing A is an overhcation and claims. flow connection F1. Hthin this connection My invention is illustrated more or less isian operating mechanism consisting of a 70 15 Ll1agrammatically in the accompanying shait F2, a handle Feccentric F4 and a drawing, wherein: A chainF, the chain F5 beingattached to the Figure l is a vertical c-rosssection through chain D2 above mentioned. i the valve; y Although I have shown an operative de- Figure 21s a horizontal cross section taken vice, it will be'obvious that many changes 71 2O on theline Q-Q of Figure l; l might be made in size, shape and arrange-v Figure 3 is a vertical cross section on an ment of parts without departing materially enlarged scale showing the valve closing from the spiritoi' my invention; and I Wish members; therefore that my showing be taken as n a Figure 4 is a vertical cross section Vthrough sense diagrammatic. a bath tub to which my valve and overliow The use and operation of my invention are connection have been' applied. as follows:

Like parts aredesignated by like charac- `When the tub is full, the partsare as ters throughout. shown in Figure l. The weight of the balls is a valve housing provided with an upand their respective areas exposed to the S5 30 per and lower opening A1 and A2. .It has pressure oil water from within the tub is projecting within it a cage B which has an suchthat they-will not be raised from their opening` B1 to the outside, and a small openseats, and they will remain seated and esing B2 to the interior ot' the valve, above cape romthe tub will be prevented. It the which is a somewhat larger opening B3 which level of the water in the tub rises above the a0 opens also to the interior of the valve. Each predetermined limit, the water will overflow o'i the openings B2 B3 is provided on its upthrough the overow connection Vand .pass per surface with a seat in which a valve closdown andV out through the vmain drain. ing member is adapted to be seated. Then it is desired to open the valve to cause 'Vithin the valve housing and communi discharge Jfrom the tub the control handle is i 130 cati'ng with the upper and lower part of the manipulated and the balls are raised Jfrom d the cage B is a their seats. 'The water then is discharged valve, and passing aroun discharge connection C. By means of this from the upper and lower openings in the arrangement, and this connection in partiouvalve cage within the valve lhousing and lar, when both o1 the openings to the valve passes downward vand out. 10o cage B are closed, discharge may take place The area of the discharge opening from trom top to the bottom of the valve, around the tub is less than that of the discharge the valve cage and out of the valve. opening through the valve proper, and there- D is a small preferably spherical valve fore any tendency for the water during disclosing member. In the form here shown it charge to back up and to till the overflow 105 to is designed to be a metallic ball, but it might pipe up to the level of the water in the tub,

9. A -Waste valve for bath tubs inoludinif in combination an overtioi-.v connection ano. a Waste outlet, and a valve into which each of them discharges, said valve neng provided in its interior Withva cage communicating with 'the Waste outlet and havingi,a up per and lower perforations, and jrovided` with balls attached to a chain and adapted to be seated in said upper and loiver outlets to close them, said valve being provided about said cage with an enlarged passa thevcross sectional area of this passage boing 2Greater han the cross sectional area ot .le discharge outlet, whereby When the discharge outlet is open Water does not p upward into the overflow oitlet conne Oil.

4. Waste valve for `liquid containing; receptacles including in combination an overow connection and a Waste outlet, and a valve member into -which each oit their. disc iarges, said valve being' provided in .its interior with a cap/ge communieating;- with the waste outlet and having a plurality ot' etiective pertorations and provided with a plurality of movable closures for such perorations, said closures adapted to be' seated one in each o1"- said perforations and to be moved to open such perforations, one of said closures when so moved ronrthe peiitoration in which it has been seated beine;
